Allows to merge two gene expression studies. XPN is a block model-based method that has three parameters: the number of row and column clusters (K and L) and the number of basic iterations B. In principle, the XPN method procedure can be used with any clustering method that produces a pre-specified number of clusters from a given set of vectors, or with resampling, based improvements of such methods. The software was applied the three datasets without incurring substantial overfitting.
